Tough times

Why God why?

Arabic

In a lifetime you will have good times and you will have bad times.

It's inevitable.

You will have highs like getting married and having children,

You will have wonderful days like being on holiday and celebrating a birthday.

Other times you will have lows like when a good friend or family dies, perhaps someone doesn't understand you at work and is causing you trouble.

Life is full of highs and lows.

It's in both these times we look to God.

When Life is good thank him, when life is bad ask him for help.

When life is difficult it is an opportunity to learn something, perhaps something to pass onto someone else.

Experience gives you wisdom.

Or when you go through a hard time crying out to God, Use it as an opportunity to get closer.

This decade has been very difficult, We started off with a global pandemic where everyone was suddenly shut down.

Our lives stopped and this affected tourism, Something that Bethlehem is built upon.

And now, War, because of fear the tourists don't come.

Which has a big impact on the many families in Bethlehem who rely on tourism as an income.

These are the difficult days.

But through it all Look up.

Allow God to teach you something about him, Get closer to God.

You can't change your circumstances but you can change your response to your circumstances.

Let God minister to you during these difficult days.
